| Goals/objectives |
Y |
Goals are approp in scope; objectives are specific and measurable/evaluable |
I have written educational goals and objectives for the fellowship in area of scientific communications, based on my extensive practice as a writing instructor for faculty and fellows. Selected objectives were basis of seminar curriculum. |
| Learner needs assessment |
Y |
Curr design uses learner needs assessment to choose and refine G/O and methods; use learner eval data to refine needs assessment |
Fellows participated in selection of focal goals; I selected objectives based on my knowledge of fellows writing needs (personal mentoring of Gen Peds fellows and junior faculty). Discussion by fellows helped to guide focus of each seminar. |
| Teaching/learning methods |
Y |
Curr design includes variety of methods that address educ goals, and meet needs of diverse learners in specific educational settings |
Methods include didactic presentation, extensive use of authentic examples with interactive discussion, practice with feedback, and distribution of individual practice materials for post-seminar reinforcement. |
| Learner evaluation and feedback |
Y |
Curr design includes sound learner evaluation methods (valid, reliable, feasible) |
All fellows receive mentoring on their written products (abstracts, papers, grant proposals), with extensive feedback from 2-3 or more faculty on evolving documents. Final evaluation is the peer review system itself. An objective system for analyzing learners’ written products in relation to specific seminar objectives is under development. |
| Curriculum/program evaluation |
Y |
Curriculum is modified periodically using eval results |
Seminar evaluations, as well as learner comments during and after the class, are carefully reviewed with every iteration to improve the seminar. |

description of an educational activity:
- Clear goals: stated purpose, realistic objectives, important questions
- Adequate preparation: understanding of literature, appropriate skills,
needed resources
- Appropriate methods: choice of methods that match goals,
effective use and flexible application of methods
- Significant results: goals are achieved, results are important, field
is advanced
- Effective presentation: presentation well organized, forums appropriate,
message clear and sound
- Reflective critique: work critically evaluated, supported with good
evidence, evaluation used to improve future studies
